Danny explained to MTV News that the goal of Your Highness was to make “a legitimate fantasy action movie and then [figure] out how to make it a comedy without blowing the fantasy out of the water and still keeping that.”

“At the end of the day, when you’re involved in a movie like this, you want the audience to let go and be able to follow this,” he explained. “Even in finding a villain like Justin [Theroux] — he destroys that role. He’s awesome at it. For us, even finding humor in a guy who has to fulfill a prophecy and he has all these pressures put on him by his parental figures, we’re just trying to find the humanity and the comedy in all these characters.”
